lockdep: fix incorrect percpu usage
The mainline kernel as of 2.6.34-rc5 is not affected by this problem because
commit 10fad5e46f6c7bdfb01b1a012380a38e3c6ab346 fixed it by refactoring.
lockdep fix incorrect percpu usage
Should use per_cpu_ptr() to obfuscate the per cpu pointers (RELOC_HIDE is needed
for per cpu pointers).
git blame points to commit:
lockdep.c: commit 8e18257d29238311e82085152741f0c3aa18b74d
But it's really just moving the code around. But it's enough to say that the
problems appeared before Jul 19 01:48:54 2007, which brings us back to 2.6.23.
It should be applied to stable 2.6.23.x to 2.6.33.x (or whichever of these
stable branches are still maintained).
(tested on 2.6.33.1 x86_64)
